Student Organizations

The Student Society of the American Academy of Physician Assistants (SSAAPA)provides PA students with a chance to interact with other students who have the same interests. These interactions can serve many purposes, such as helping to meet other students in a social atmosphere; working to educate others about the PA profession; improving the community with projects the society implements; or enhancing one’s own leadership skills. The student society provides a way to get involved with peers, the PA profession, and the community.
